Interpreting and Comparing Information on Maps

GINI
The GINI index represents the gap between very wealthy families and very poor ones. A low GINI index means more equality in the country while a higher one means less equality and a bigger gap. Canada, Australia and most of Europe have very low indices while places like Brazil, Chile and Namibia have extremely high ones.

PI and HDI
The PI index represents the risk of poverty in a country. A low PI index means the country is in extreme risk while a higher one means the country is at less of a risk. The HDI measure four different rates to come up to one summary measurement. These three are life expectancy at time of birth, adult literacy, gross enrollment ratio in schools and GDP per capita.
